Almighty Alchemist

When Marquis Bratt set foot on the thirteen obsidian steps of the Scourge Church again, it was already the tenth day after the Napleton incident.

For ten days he had been putting the finishing touches on the Napleton affair. Although Napleton's position as Attorney General was removed, the title of Marquis was also deprived, and the entire Napleton family collapsed. The Sierra Empire is not keen on executing ministers who committed crimes, but it is almost impossible to think about it after being reduced to civilians. Ivan Napleton was driven back to his hometown in the south. The empire left him a piece of land and a small manor out of care for the old courtiers, or maybe because of his scapegoating. If Napleton knows how to restrain himself, then he can spend the rest of his life as a manor owner in an ordinary way.

Although fading out of the political arena would cost the Napleton family everything, but in the current situation, it is already the best way to deal with it.

After that, the Marquis of Blatt will be busy accepting the vacancy of power after Napleton's departure, and on the other hand, he will discuss with His Majesty the emperor how to restore Iglesia's impression of the empire.

Dealing with Xiu Yi is so simple, yet so complicated.

The simplicity lies in the fact that he is a man who can be bribed;

The complication is that he is not someone who can be bribed easily;

Marquis Blatt and Emperor Jenkin had a very detailed discussion on how to make Xiu Yi think that the Serra Empire had shown enough sincerity.

This discussion has experienced two twists and turns.

The first time was when it was almost officially confirmed, the news of the coming of the gods suddenly came, and Hugh Iglell became the messenger of the gods. Although the god descended on the sacrificial temple, in fact its influence almost covered the entire capital of the Sierra Empire. After hearing the news, Marquis Blatter and his Emperor immediately doubled the bottom line of compensation.

However, just one day later, new news came: the Envoy of God has possessed the power of God. Isado himself even told Emperor Jenjin that this is true news, that Hugh Igles already possessed the domain of the gods, and he is the only one who can resist the natural disasters of the abyss in the future.

So the bottom line of compensation has doubled on this basis.

The compensation was so great that Emperor Jenkin was willing to cede ten cities.

After drawing the final bottom line, Emperor Jenkin finally decided to let Marquis Blatt take the lead. He hoped that the Marquis could use his excellent lobbying skills to persuade Hugh Yiglell to take the initiative to lower the price.

———————

Today, it was Marquis Bratt who came to discuss the issue of compensation with Xiu Yi. Of course, Marquis Bratt would not say that it was compensation, but it could only be "a small gesture from His Majesty the Great Emperor to the guests who came from afar."

"May I ask where is Lord Hugh Igles?"

A destruction knight replied very politely: "You should have just left the library at this time, you can go to the racecourse to have a look."

Marquis Blatter thanked him and hurried to the racecourse.

The horse farm mentioned by the destruction knight is the place where the Scourge Church breeds nightmare horses. It is said to be a racecourse, but it is actually a natural world artificially opened up in the bustling city. Nightmare horses are violent by nature, love freedom, and come and go like the wind. Keeping them in a small place is not the way to keep their hearts.

For this reason, the Scourge Church has specially opened up an artificial mountain forest and grassland of about 12 dumps in the rear for the nightmare horses to live here. Just the environmental investment in raising this nightmare horse consumes a lot of the church's wealth every year.

In the distance, Xiu Yi was galloping fast on the grass on the Nightmare Horse. When he saw Marquis Bratt approaching from a distance, he patted the Nightmare Horse's neck and galloped towards this side. When he came to Blatter's side, Huey jumped off the horse, and then patted the horse's buttocks. The horse neighed and ran away by itself.

"It looks beautiful, doesn't it?" Huey laughed.

"Yes, I really didn't expect you to be able to ride them so soon, they are not so easy to tame." Marquis Blatt replied with a smile.

"It's not very cooperative yet. Sometimes it will lose its temper and let it go east, but it will go west. If you ride it on the battlefield now, you will either be led by it all the way into the enemy's camp, or you will be forced by it to be a deserter who fled before the first battle on the battlefield." Huey didn't take Blatter's compliment seriously. He is best at dealing with monsters. In many cases, Xiu Yi even thought that his relationship with monsters was better than his relationship with people.

The beast trainer of the Scourge Church taught him a lot of experience in dealing with monsters, and Huey found that many things were exactly the same as what he had done on Purgatory Island before. This is in line with what Isardo told him: Many things seem complicated on the surface, but the essence of things is often the same.

Electra's success is based on his success.

As for himself, at least on the issue of dealing with Warcraft, Xiuyi was on the right path from the very beginning.

In the words of those animal trainers: You are already an animal trainer, but you didn't realize it yourself.

"It's already pretty good." Marquis Blatt was still saying unhurried compliments.

"Then Lord Marquis Blatt came here to look for me because..." Xiuyi didn't continue, he knew that the other party would talk.

Brat said with a smile: "Some things must have an answer. The harm Napleton caused to you has seriously affected our relationship. Although Mr. Greer is magnanimous and doesn't want to care about all of this, the Sierra Empire must express it."

"Really." Xiu Yi's expression was very calm, he waved, and a servant immediately brought bright red wine. This is a fine wine made from crystal red grapes, a specialty of the Southern Continent. It is delicious and sweet, and is only for the nobles to enjoy.

"First of all, I want to tell Mr. Greer that Napleton has been severely punished..."

Xiu Yi raised his hand: "I'm not interested in what kind of punishment he received, Lord Marquis Blatt. Although I don't think I'm a magnanimous person, I can be sure that if I regard someone as an enemy, I will never need others to do it. I will solve the problem by myself. Therefore, Napleton is not my enemy. How he is treated has nothing to do with me."

Bratt cursed inwardly.

What Huey said means that Blatter cannot act as an apology to Huey in terms of Napleton's handling of the issue. That is to say, whether you kill him or exile him, Xiu Yi doesn't care. If you want to use this as part of the Sierra Empire's compensation, there is no way.

Blatter sighed inwardly, the legendary boy in front of him was indeed not easy to deal with.

He stopped being wordy: "Considering Napleton's harm to you, the Sierra Empire is willing to transfer the Napleton family's property to you..."

Xiu Yi waved again: "The property of the Napleton family? Are you kidding me? Lord Marquis Bratt. Do you think I'm short of money? Do you know how many nobles will give me money as long as I nod my head?"

… Blatt was speechless, but he knew that Huey was right. Not to mention that Xiu Yi now owns a huge property, not to mention his upcoming plan to use the teleportation circle to trade between the north and the south of the continent, just his existing alchemy ability is enough to make enough nobles throw friendly olive branches to him.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Xiu Yi is willing, he can get countless wealth and resources.

This made Marquis Blatter hate it.

Because he found that the boy in front of him was the most difficult boy in the world to be bribed, but he only accepted bribes.

This means that it may be difficult for me to lower the price of this "friendship acquisition".

Sighing, Marquis Bratt said helplessly, "I wanted to tell you that you can get the title of earl, but it seems that you don't care too much."

"When I was a wanted criminal of the Reims Empire, the Franks looked for me everywhere. They promised me a city and the title of Marquis. Later, when Emperor Mierya came to the throne, he also clearly hoped that I would stay in the Reims Empire. His promise to me was...the prince." Xiuyi replied to Bratt: "I rejected them all."

Marquis Blatt had the urge to cry.

If it was someone else, he would definitely think it was bragging. But what Xiu Yi said made him believe it. Blatt has heard about the relationship between Xiu Yi and Avril Lavigne. Considering this reason, Mierya can definitely make Xiu Yi the Prince of the Lance Empire.

This is indeed a fact, but he didn't know that Xiu Yi didn't really reject Mi Yeya's proposal, but said that he needed a period of time to practice. He didn't care about the prince, but he had to care about Avril. But now, this has become a bargaining chip for him to bargain with the Sierra Empire.

Xiuyi does not want real estate, gold, silver and wealth are not rare in Xiuyi, and noble titles are regarded as dung, so the only thing that can impress Xiuyi is only one thing-alchemy resources.

That's right, Marquis Bratt and his emperor had considered this issue before coming here, but in fact, this was exactly what Emperor Jenkin was unwilling to do.

Alchemy resources are to some extent equivalent to the general term of oil resources, natural gas resources, and mineral resources on the earth. Maybe we use another term to call it more meaningful-strategic resources.

Hugh Iglesne is equivalent to the scientist with the highest technological ability on the earth, but each country also has its own scientists. Although they are not as strong as you, it does not mean that they have to give you all the resources for use.

If Isado's proposal hadn't been taken into account, Xiu Yi would likely become an important figure in resisting the power of the abyss in the future, and Emperor Zhan Jin might not accept the request for resource compensation at all.

So Marquis Blatt said helplessly: "The Southern Continent has some alchemy resources, but we also need to use them. After all, His Majesty's ambitions are lofty..."

Xiu Yi certainly understood what Marquis Bratt meant. When an ambitious emperor has unified the entire continent, his eyes will inevitably be placed in a longer-term place. For example, the east and north continents.

Since the flag of the Sierra Empire is to be planted on the land of other continents, war is inevitable. Under such circumstances, the importance of strategic resources to the Sierra Empire is self-evident.

If the Sierra Empire gave Xiu Yi a large amount of alchemy resources at this time, just in exchange for some domestic teleportation circles and a friendship, it would be too inappropriate.

Unless Xiuyi agrees to formally join the Sierra Empire.

What Bratt wanted, or what Emperor Jenkin wanted, was a promise from Huey, but unfortunately Huey couldn't give it.

Not only because of Avril Lavigne, but also for more important reasons.

At this moment, he said calmly: "Marquis Blatt, I understand His Majesty's ambitions very well. But unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't help him in this matter. But I hope you can let him understand that wolves may kill each other when there is no food to eat, but when tigers come, they will only choose to fight together. The abyss is the biggest threat to Fengming Continent. Before this threat is eliminated, it is better not to think too much about it."

"But Bathgate is sealed."

Xiuyi sighed, and he knew that the other party would think this way: "Master Marquis, it is only Bathgate that is sealed, not the abyssal demons. The environment in the abyss is dangerous and resources are scarce, and many lives cannot be guaranteed there. But those who can survive there are all tyrannical beings. For the life in the abyss, being able to enter the Fengming Continent with abundant resources from the abyss is what they dream of. The existence of the Abyss only pointed out a future direction for the Abyss. The reason why the Abyss did not invade the mainland again in the past year may have something to do with the injuries they suffered in the Western Continent. But seven hundred years of recuperation is enough for them to restore their prosperity. As far as I know, the peace of the last three hundred years has a lot to do with the legendary great alchemist Electra.

Marquis Blatt was stunned by these words. After thinking for a while, he said, "Perhaps because of this, Fengming Continent needs a unified voice and a unified command."

Huey shook her head.

In the past, Electra used war to rob resources and formed a powerful puppet army to fight against the death army in the abyss. But what about the result? After all, he failed to defeat the death army without Bathgate's guard, and was forced to send another self back to Fengming Continent.

For three hundred years, human beings have consumed a large amount of the remaining resources on the mainland in self-conquest, and it is impossible for alchemy to return to its former peak. Even if Xiuyi concentrated all the resources of the three continents, at best it could only reproduce the huge army of Electra, but it was impossible to surpass it. If wars are carried out on this basis and large-scale internal conflicts are carried out, then the legion that Xiu Yi may have may not even reach half of what Electra used to be.

This is what Xiu Yi cannot tolerate.

Therefore, he does not want any more wars among countries, which would be a huge loss of human and material resources.

So he hopes to use business and political means to get resources.

Times are changing, and in the current environment, the way of peaceful coexistence is far more meaningful than a life-and-death contest.

Blindly relying on one's own strength to try to unify the three continents, I'm afraid that before the abyss comes, he will be finished first.

However, it seems that the Sierra Empire has not yet realized this problem.

In fact, not only the Sierra Empire, but even the Lance Empire and the Frank Empire would probably not accept Xiu Yi's opinion.

If he wants to search for alchemy resources on a large scale and establish his own puppet army, I am afraid that all countries will panic immediately, thinking that Xiu Yi wants to become the second Electra.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yi hated the old man a little bit.

As a legendary great alchemist, Electra does have extraordinary wisdom. But as a commander-in-chief, he obviously has no political IQ. The end result is that this crazy old man used his own strength to fight against the entire abyss. Although he was once so powerful, his final result was only failure.

If he had united all the countries and attacked the abyss together, then the death army would have been finished long ago. Even if Bathgate gets out of trouble, it is impossible to wipe out the Three Continents by himself... No matter how powerful his power in God's Domain is, it is not inexhaustible.

This also made Xiuyi want to do anything now, which will attract the extreme attention of other countries. Few people know the good deeds that Electra has done, but the evils he has done are known all over the world.

If he wants to solve this problem now, unless the abyss strikes immediately and the alarm rings the alarm bells throughout the continent, he will not be able to persuade all countries to support him.

It was at this moment that the communication crystal in Xiu Yi's bosom transmitted a wave of magic.

Raschel, who was far away in Xiduo, sent a message requesting a call with Xiu Yi.
